 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon.

 Trump says he and Putin plan second Ukraine summit in Budapest

Trump said on Truth Social that "great progress was made" during his call with Putin, adding that top advisers from both countries would meet next week to continue discussions, with U.S. representation by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He confirmed that the leaders would then meet in Budapest, Hungary. Trump also noted that Putin congratulated him on the recent deal to end the war in Gaza. Last week, Trump indicated he might give Zelensky a new ultimatum: either Russia engages in serious peace talks or Ukraine receives Tomahawk missiles, which could reach Moscow. Ukraine is also seeking faster delivery of other U.S.-made weapons, including Patriot missile defense systems, though it remains unclear whether Trump will approve the missile transfer.
